There are thousands of chemical manufacturing facilities in the U.S. - run by chemical plant operators who are highly paid and who enjoy a stable work environment. There is an ongoing need for chemical plant operators at the entry level, and with a large segment of the workforce retiring there will be a critical shortage of technical workers for many years to come. This unique and user-friendly course can help you get started in this exciting field. Very few institutions provide entry-level training; this one is designed for those with minimal knowledge of the industry or of math, physics, or chemistry. Science concepts are built into the course modules. Get started today!

This course will focus on the details of the typical processing procedures utilized to produce a biopharmaceutical - a pharmaceutical produced by biotechnology. An understanding of the science and the equipment commonly used in each process step will be presented along with a review of the basic biochemistry involved in biotechnology and current pharmaceutical applications. Hands-on laboratory exercises will provide experience in the fermentation, product isolation, and purification of a protein.
